From the pages of Star Blazers/Yamato fan club magazine: when an Earth/Garmillas hybrid Andromeda showed up in 2202, it didn’t matter that we only saw it for a few seconds; the flames of our imagination were lit. In this interview, the designer of that intriguing ship comes forward to explain how it got to the screen.
The Transit Wave-Motion Gun is fired at the Comet Empire city. With Earth at its back, Yamato takes on the final battle, invading the city empire with the help of Garmillas and Tomoko Katsuragi. Their goal is the grand imperial throne room. With much bloodshed and many sacrifices, Kodai reaches Zordar’s doorstep…
May 2021 was one of the slowest months in years, seemingly caught up in the malaise of uncertainty over when the Wave-Motion Engine would restart.

The 1/350 Yamato Diecast Gimmick Model is, so far, the largest and most complex commercially-available Yamato in history.

Before embarking on this massive project, it’s necessary to lay some groundwork and get the big picture.
April 2021 was a surprisingly slow month in Yamato world, with the lowest amount of activity since January 2020. But quality always trumps quantity ’round these here parts. When official stuff slows to a crawl, fans reliably race to Yamato‘s rescue, just as they’ve always done.
Isao Sasaki’s voice was the first anyone ever heard when they met Space Battleship Yamato, and he still belts out that theme song as no one else can. Two days before his first-ever livestream concert, a pair of interviews with Sasaki appeared online, and as usual he had plenty of stories to tell.
